The mission for SilverStone’s RAVEN
team is to design products with styling and features that exceed classic
originals in boldness and intention. So a brief look at the first RAVEN
chassis, the RV01, one can easily see that the mission was accomplished with
spectacular results. The RV01’s stealth fighter inspired outer shell is styled
aggressively but with a small hint of SilverStone’s famed reservation by the use
of only matte finish. This gives RV01 an unmistakable wow factor and a look
that will remain pleasing for years to come. For the interior, a revolutionary
layout was utilized to take advantage of a very simple natural phenomenon – heat
rise, by rotating the motherboard 90 degree for air to rise up more smoothly
over graphics card area. Equipped with dual 180mm fans and a 120mm fan, the
RV01’s has excellent cooling potential with its factory tuning perfectly
balanced between performance and quietness. If there is a breakthrough chassis
to be had for several generations of components upgrade, the RAVEN RV01 is
definitely the one.
